Ensemble’s inaugural product — Agent Hub — is set to debut in early 2024. The company was co-founded by a team of Web3 veterans from Polygon, Fuse, Starknet and Algorand. This independent marketplace is designed to change how users find, engage and compensate AI agents. Agent Hub’s purpose is to help close the trust and monetization gap currently present in the AI ecosystem. It’s poised to change the landscape tremendously for developers building on top of, and users leveraging generative AI technology.
Agent Hub is an omnichannel, chat-native platform. It allows for users to connect immediately to agents trained for the task at hand through chatbot or live chat functionality. It simplifies the payment model. Users can immediately pay agents in crypto or via more traditional methods including Stripe. Agent Hub is broadening its menu of supported agents by including Eliza, an open-source framework for building AI agents. In just the month of July, they swore in more than 20 new agents!
Shamir Ozery, cofounder and CEO of Ensemble, put this new platform in big-picture context. He stated,
“Our stack is purpose-built to help users navigate the noisy world of agents with ease by connecting them with the right agent and guiding them through the entire process. This isn’t just an integration. It’s a step toward an open, trusted economic layer for both human-to-agent and agent-to-agent collaboration.”
Agent Hub’s decentralized design allows agents to get discovered and monetized more readily. Developers are the ones who reap the rewards of this simplicity by not having to create complex token models. This is one feature that Eliza users have found most beneficial. It democratizes developer and non-developer access to build powerful AI agents.
Eliza’s co-founders Leah and Hannah both shared how excited they were to be working on this collaboration with Ensemble. They explained how this integration gives builders a new way to move closer to monetization.
“Eliza empowers developers and non-developers to create and implement sophisticated AI agents. As such, its natural integration with Agent Hub provides builders a new path toward monetization, as this dedicated agent marketplace simplifies the process of discovering, hiring, and paying verified agents.”
Ben, the Marketing Lead at Eliza Labs, to help illustrate how powerful this partnership can be. He remarked that
“The versatility and technical capability of elizaOS is also what makes this integration so exciting. Ensemble’s Agent Hub offers Eliza builders a new way for their agents to be discovered, collaborate, and provide value.”
Ensemble is building a global commerce and coordination layer for AI agents. This strategic maneuver establishes the company as a leader in the fast-changing world of AI technology. Agent Hub is taking tremendous steps to create a safer community. This sandbox helps developers and users alike, making the PBM space more economically viable for all parties involved.
